Q: what does it mean??

Answer

The woman said "we went to McDonald's...... it was a happy meal". She is making a pun, because McDonald's sells something called a "Happy Meal" for children. They market this to parents as if to say "buy this for your children and they will be happy".

So Ellen recognizes that her guest made a pun and she responds with "that's probably where they got that from". Meaning to say, that's probably where they got the name Happy Meal from, because adults like McDonald's too.
